Chris: You have Linda and my heartfelt regrets and condolences on the untimely death of your son.

Please accept our love, support and earnest best wishes for your family's healing from this loss and future good fortune.

Chris and family,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Barnett,

We pray that you will, with time, find comfort in the close friendships Nick fostered.
